Anomaly

told that I was an anomaly. I was that kid who volunteered at a nature reserve for my pure pleasure. I was that kid who came to a small liberal arts college in the middle-of-nowhere in Iowa to follow my dream. I was that kid who created a new major to further explore my enthusiasm for social justice. I was that kid who had to convince the college to approve a new study-abroad program to broaden my knowledge of human rights and non-governmental organizations. Yet, I am no anomaly. There are…

polyps, or even hypertrophic tonsils that intrude into the pharynx. Other hyponasality causes, particularly in individuals with clefts or craniofacial anomalies, include a deviated septum (particularly with unilateral clefts), choanal stenosis (a narrowing of the opening between the back of one…

Adelburgers (“Adelbu”) Brief Description: Ultra elite wing of the RGA led by Walther Schäffer; has origins in the short lived RGA Gruppe “Ragnarök 14,” made up of members with a known service record within the Civil Guard. Organization: Instead of following its predecessor’s formation of 14 six man crews, Adelbu crews work in groups of ten eight man crews, much like most the RGA. These groups are organized within one cohesive organizational entity that answers personally to Walther Schäffer…

In “Embodying the Monster,” Margrit Shildrick defines the word “monster” using the different representations present throughout human history. The dilemma of concern is how humans identify monsters, as well as what these definitions reveal about humans themselves. Humans have repeatedly developed binaries in order to separate the human from the nonhuman. However, monsters blur these binaries. As stated by Shildrick, “And yet time and again the monstrous cannot be confined to the place of the…

Discussion According to the hypothesis, the fresh Navel orange juice was expected to have a higher concentration of vitamin C than Coles orange juice However, according to the results, as seen in Graph 2, Coles Orange juice had higher concentration of vitamin C compared to the Fresh Navel orange juice, and contradicted the hypothesis. From Graph 2, at 8oC, Coles orange juice had 19.7% higher concentration of vitamin C than fresh navel orange juice, because fresh juice had 15.62mg/100mL, whereas…

BLUNT TRAUMA ABDOMEN IN A CASE OF SITUS INVERSUS TOTALIS: A CASE REPORT Abstract Situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital anomaly in which position of the heart and all abdominal viscera is reversed. Situs abnormalities usually go unnoticed but may be recognized by radiography or ultrasonography as an incidental finding or during evaluation for congenital heart diseases. It is a rare condition with incidence of 1 in every 8,000 to 25000 births. We present a case of blunt trauma abdomen in a…

The purpose of this article was to raise awareness of Moebius Syndrome, specifically for perinatal, pediatric, and neonatal professionals. It quantified that through appropriate awareness, children born with Moebius syndrome could receive the appropriate care they deserve. Instead, these individuals go on for years without a correct diagnosis or applicable care. One issue is that with the facial implications as well as the motor control, how can a nurse/healthcare professional let a child with…

spectrum disorders22,23. Furthermore, rare copy number variations are more prevalent in patients with neurodevelopmental disorders that concurs with multiple congenital anomalies (MCA) such as facial dysmorphism, skeletal malformations, congenital heart diseases and corpus callosum dysplasia24,25. These multiple congenital anomalies have been reported as predictors in isolated/combined neurodevelopmental disorders. We aimed to investigate the predictors of the pathogenic copy number variations…

Every year in the United States, 40,000 babies born have a congenital heart defect, making it the most common congenital anomaly in the United States, and that statistic is only increasing (CDC 2018). 40,000 may not seem like a lot, but that’s 40,000 children affected by a defect that strays them from living a normal childhood and the likeability of living a long and healthy life. Additionally, this affects the parents as well, who are now wary of whether or not their child will surpass their…

technology. Though geophysical methods can be useful, more often than not geophysical methods cannot be relied upon to definitively locate a clandestine burial. For the most part, geophysical search methods are really only useful in locating ground anomalies that have the potential to be a burial site and then have to be examined by another search method. The geophysical search methods should always be used as a part of a larger search plan that includes more search strategies, such as cadaver…
